Episode Details

The Good Fight: Standing for Life in Spirit and Truth In this powerful teaching delivered on Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, Addy Reilly addresses the "hard truths" that the modern church often avoids. She traces the sanctity of life from the opening pages of Genesis to the closing of Revelation, emphasizing that every human being is uniquely crafted in the image of God. By looking at the lives of Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and Jesus Himself, Reilly demonstrates that God’s plan for humanity begins at conception and carries a divine purpose that the enemy is desperate to destroy. The message pivots to the tactical nature of this battle, identifying abortion as a spiritual war disguised by political labels. Reilly highlights the deceptive tactics used by organizations like the Satanic Temple and the cultural subversion of the Eucharist’s message. Finally, the church is given a roadmap for victory based on the life of Christ: leaving the "four walls" to meet people in their shame and balancing the "Sword of the Spirit" with the "Gospel of Peace." -- Life is holy because it is the only part of creation made specifically in the image of God (Imago Dei). -- The enemy uses abortion to attack the future of the church and trap mothers in "shackles of condemnation." -- We must recognize our true enemy; doctors and women are not the enemy—the deceiver who seeks to "steal, kill, and destroy" is. -- Modern rhetoric like "This is my body, my choice" is a demonic parody of the Eucharist, where Jesus broke His body so that others might live. -- To win this battle, the church must go "on offense" by entering the community, voting, and being present in school systems. -- Following the example of Jesus with the woman at the well, we must establish a foundation of love and peace before the truth can be properly received.
